Chapter 60: Ningcheng Flying General (3) (Another 5th Watch)
"Oh, that's it!"
Li Guang's anger eased slightly, but he turned to ask, "Then what kind of clever plan can General Win come up with to raise food?" ”
"This-" Shen Yingwei was sluggish, but he usually improvised, and he immediately said an idea without careful thought: "As far as I know, there should be a vast grassland not far from this pass, so it is better for us to form a cavalry of about 1,000 people first and go to the grassland to fight some wild beasts." Even if you don't hunt much, it's better than sitting and waiting in the pass. ”
As soon as Shen Ying's words fell, the generals in the hall began to discuss, some nodded and some shook their heads, incomprehensible.
"What about you, General Luo? What a better idea? Li Guang nodded slightly at Shen Ying, and then continued to ask Luo Feidao.
"I think what General Win said is very true! However, I suggest that at the same time, I should take a team of 100 sentinels, and make them sentry into the depths of the steppe when the 1,000-man team is hunting, so as not to suddenly attack the Huns, and we will not have time to evacuate. ”
Luo Fei, who didn't come up with a better idea, agreed with Shen Ying's proposal and added a sentence. In his memory, Li Guang had a chance encounter with the Hun army in history, so he mentioned this matter this time.
"General Luo is also very thoughtful." Li Guang also nodded to Luo Fei: "Then it's decided." If everyone doesn't have a better idea, tomorrow, except for General Sun, who chose two partial generals to stay in the pass, the rest of the generals will meet with General Ben at the North City Gate on time! ”
The generals were commanded to disperse. At this time, Li Guang stopped Luo Fei: "General Luo, wait a minute, and go to the camp with me to select people in a while." ”
Luo Fei was slightly stunned, and immediately returned to normal.
He said to Shen Ying, who was also a little surprised: "General Ying can patrol the city first, and after General Li and I have finished choosing, we will talk freely at my house in the evening." ”
Shen Ying nodded and left, and soon he sent a message through his teammates' channel: "Where should I go first during this time?" ”
At this time, Li Guang was ready, and because Luo Fei did not ride a horse here, the Fuzhong arranged a carriage for him, and let Luo Fei sit on it and follow Li Guang on horseback and go straight to the barracks.
Luo Fei sat in the carriage alone and replied to Shen Ying: "Have you ever ridden a horse in the script before?" ”
Shen Ying replied: "No! This ancient script is the first time to play. ”
"And you still recommend going hunting?" Luo Fei had a black line in his head: "For the rest of the day, you should practice your riding skills!" Lest it be too embarrassing to go out of the city tomorrow to hunt! ”
Shen Ying quickly replied: "It's okay, in reality, I have to go to the grassland for more than ten days every year, and I ride this kind of high-headed horse in the north, so it's no problem tomorrow." ”
Luo Fei sat in the carriage and was speechless, without warning, he actually let Shen Ying, this kid, show off his wealth in front of him。。。。。。
In the middle of the ring, the carriage was almost to the barracks, and he replied with a late message to show his invisible protest: "Then you can just take a look in the city, especially the place where the grain is stored, to see how serious the situation is." ”
There is nothing to describe in the whole process of selecting troops, and among the 30,000 defenders in the pass, there are only about 5,000 cavalry.
The generals in charge of each thousand-man cavalry team each selected the most elite cavalry of the team of 220 cavalry for Li Guangming's use.
For Luo Fei, all this is just how familiar he is with the situation in the barracks. After the script of "Ma Tan Shou Street Pavilion", Luo Fei's own riding skills are limited to being able to ride, and in terms of level, Shen Ying, who has practiced horse riding for many years, must be much better than him.
After returning from the selection of soldiers, Shen Ying was already waiting in the initial mansion of the two.
Shen Ying privately told Luo Fei that it might be the reason why Luo Fei had a higher level, and this mansion was set by the system as his home. Shen Ying's home is not far from here, but he has already asked his subordinates to move his salute here, pretending to pass on Luo Fei's order, and choosing a guest room to settle down, so that it is convenient for the two to discuss things in the future.
Luo Fei also learned from Shen Ying that this border fortress called Ning City has a strong city and complete city defense facilities, and has all the necessary elements for the defense of the border fortress in ancient times. The only thing to worry about now is the shortage of food and grass in the city.
According to the grain officer in charge of the distribution of military rations in the city, the three-day military rations that Li Guang had previously mentioned at the meeting were actually calculated according to the minimum ration, which was only enough for the soldiers to be five points full. If the army is led to fight, the soldiers will only have enough food to eat five meals when they need to replenish their physical strength.
"What do you inquire about the grain officer?" After listening to Shen Ying's words, Luo Fei began to care about the grain and grass he was waiting for.
"I've heard some gossip about this, too." As soon as he said this, Shen Ying began to smile bitterly: "I heard that this grain officer has the support of people close to the emperor in the court, and when he sent grain last time, he only sent two-thirds of the military food that should be sent, and only one-third of the hay that was fed to the war horses, and let Li Guang go to the grassland to solve the rest of the hay by himself." ”
"Then he didn't send enough, didn't Li Guang write to let the emperor deal with him?" When Luo Fei heard this, he asked a little puzzled.
"Of course he's in the book!" When Shen Ying said this, the wry smile on his face turned into anger: "But the people close to the emperor interceded for this grain officer, saying that it was a long way to transport grain, and some losses were normal. The emperor allocated some more grain and grass to join the grain transportation this time. This is also one of the reasons why the grain in the city has run out of food this time, but the grain transport team has not yet arrived! ”
"So, the slow movement of the grain transport team this time is also related to the festival of Li Guang's letter to the grain officer last time?" When Luo Fei heard this, he probably understood the reason for the predicament of food shortage in the city.
"It must be like this!" Shen Ying nodded: "I guess the grain officer just wants to make a fortune by relying on this errand of sending less grain." ”
That is, if we can satisfy his desire to get rich. He could have transported the grain to the city earlier, right? Unlike Shen Ying, who is the heir to a large company in reality, Luo Fei, who has been working hard at the bottom since graduation, almost immediately grasped the crux of this matter!
"How does this work?" Shen Ying looked at Luo Fei with an incredulous face: "If this kind of person is discovered by me in our company, I will definitely let him roll up and roll out immediately!" ”
"Isn't the point now the point being right?" Luo Fei smiled very understandingly, patted Shen Ying's shoulder and comforted him: "This script only allows us to hold Ningcheng for 15 days, if this grain officer named Feng Yuan can bring enough grain and grass for the army for 30 days this time, then you and I will reach an agreement with him in private, as long as he delivers the grain quickly, even if he is greedy for half of it, what does it matter?" ”
